Bloodless

They're profiting from your worry They're selling blanks down at the DMZ They're banking on the sound and fury Makes you wonder what it all's got to do with me Bloodless for now I'm keeping mine with the altruists I'm putting my weight behind the dancer I know it's hard to be an optimist When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers And it's an uncivil war It's an uncivil war It's an uncivil war Bloodless for now And the poets they explode like bombs Bloodless for now While the gentry is drinking Moet Chandon Bloodless for now Turn around and quote a well known psalm Don't you worry 'bout the wicked Don't you envy those who do wrong And your innocence will be like the dawn While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun Well the best lack all conviction And the worst keep sharpening their claws They're peddling in their dark fictions While what's left of us well we just hem and we haw And it feels like 1936 In Catalonia In Catalonia Bloodless for now Bloodless for now And the poets they explode like bombs Bloodless for now Drinking Moet Chandon Bloodless for now Turn around and quote a well known psalm Don't you worry 'bout the wicked Don't you envy those who do wrong And your innocence will be like the dawn While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun
